Jakes_A_Snake Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Good day all, this is my current build that I am about a year into. It started life as an 89 4.0, BA10/5, Np231, dana 30/35. I bought it from a kid up in Oregon back in March of 2018. Currently I am swapping finishing up an LS swap, and getting ready to rebuild a dana 44/60 combo for it. I will do my best to post in chronological order and answer any questions that may arise. This was almost right before the build bystarted. Sitting on 32s with a busted ring and Pinion in the dana 35 from some fun in the snow back in January 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakes_A_Snake Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 As you can see your basic Renix 4.0. Next came the donor truck a 2003 Silverado that had been wrecked for $1000. Next I pulled the drive terrain in one fell swoop. I uset an ATV to pull the truck back since I was working in dirt. Here is the engine trans and tranfercse put in. I used novac mounts and headers.

Jakes_A_Snake Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 I forgot to mention I did a compression test and one cylinder only made 36 psi. It had warped valves. $700 later she was back together. And in the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakes_A_Snake Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 I ordered a be cool radiator, modified my color support and made a new one so it would all fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakes_A_Snake Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 I got lucky enough to score an LS6 intake for $200 and proceeded to redo the wiring and fuel system to make it fit and look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakes_A_Snake Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 Also right around the time I scored the intake I scored an XJ for $900 it came with a Ford HP44 and dana 60, Np231 with sye, a sbc 350, turbo 350, novac mounts, rough country radius arm lift, and a lot more.

Jakes_A_Snake Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 Interesting, it may have been because I uploaded so much in a short time. It said I reached my maximum upload of 39 mb. Or it may have been the quality of the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 yeah, there is definitely a limit on how fast you can upload and it seems to choke on huge files. But rest assured that they are all automatically shrunken and saved, just sometimes you need to do just one at a time. truck looks goooooood though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
